We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[DotSlash]

Ness sat up and shrugged a bit. [color=ff4599] "Two things: That you're not a robot and that it will help keep you on your toes when you're in danger. Being paralyzed by it is bad, I won't deny that... but losing it completely is a problem on its own. And don't worry... I'll be right next to you, whenever we have to do what needs to be done." [/color] She said reassuringly as she placed a hand on Jess' shoulder.

Hearing Loki in her head, her eyes widened before she bit her lip. [color=ff4599] "Jess... Loki's found us somehow... We need to ditch these pendants here and now." [/color] She told Jess before taking her choker off and placing it on the bed.

 

[Chungus]

The two dragonlings began chasing one another through the cave, often, one would tackle the other, where upon the would roll on the ground for a while until one of them got up and ran off. From time to time, they made use of their wings to flutter around.
[hr]
They had not switched comunicators? That is foolish. Loki though as Ness removed her choker, where upon contact with her was lost. "Did it manage to find them?" he asked one of the staff, letting go of the pendant.

"No sir. Not even close."

As trying would be pointless, Loki took off the tracker pendant and put his old one back on again, then left the compound. That was a waste of time. Hmm... If I were them, where would I go to hide? They cannot be in Xiphatia still, otherwise they would have been captured by now...

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica looked over at Ness as she felt her hand on her shoulder. "Thanks. I'll try and control myself. And try not to let you down as well." She said with a smile. Hearing Ness' other statement, she shrieked and quickly grabbed hold of her necklace. Tearing it off from her neck, she flung it across the room in a panic. Then she started rubbing the back of her neck with her hand. "Ow...that's not as easy as it looks..."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness let out a small giggle before taking her choker and placing it by the necklace on the other side of the room. [color=ff4599] "It never is as easy as they make it look... Hey, do you think you might be able to teleport these someplace far away... like the ocean by Shantaio maybe?" [/color]

 

[Furioso]

Rita sighed and tried to forget about the events of the past few days, but the more she tried to forget the more it all ate at her.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Sure. That's easy." Jessica replied to Ness. While still rubbing the back of her neck, she pulled out a piece of chalk and drew a circle on a table in the hotel room roughly the size of a basketball. Holding out her free hand, she focused and activated the portal. She motioned for Ness to just toss the choker and necklace into it.

 

[Chungus]

With little else to do but wait until the bombs were ready to be flown out, Loki returned to the palace, going to the guest room where he ordered a large meal.
[hr]
The two dragonlings eventually tired themselves out and went to sleep, Rizomata laying flat out, and Ba'ul curling up against him.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness casually tossed both pieces of jewelry into the portal. She sighed a bit afterward before smiling sheepishly. [color=ff4599] "And here I was hoping I'd be able to take a fancy souvenir back home with me." [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

The necklace and choker tossed through the portal would appear in a bright blue flash right over the section of ocean shore nearest the gates into the city of Shantaio. They would then immediately plummet into the sea.

Jessica sighed a little as she remembered having gotten the necklace from Savranth. "Tell you what, once this is over, I'll buy you something to take home with you. Sound fair?"

 

[DotSlash]

Ness blinked a bit in surprise at what Jess had said. [color=ff4599] "Huh...? That was just a joke. But if you want to... we can each buy each other something... once this is over? I'd feel bad if I didn't get you something too." [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

"Alright. I was offering because, well, you're supposed to be on vacation. And you bring souvenirs back from vacation. I'd feel bad if you didn't." Jessica replied to Ness, at first smiling, then adopting a tone of sincerity. "I only really meant for you to get one, but if you're offering, it'd be rude to say no." She added, her smile returning.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness smiled back to Jess, nodding. [color=ff4599] "Oh right... I'm supposed to be on vacation. It's been so long I think I forgot." [/color] She said jokingly, before getting up and hugging Jess. [color=ff4599] "But thank you, Jess. I really appreciate it. I hope I'll be able to buy you something worthwhile too." [/color] Letting out a small yawn, Ness eventually stopped hugging Jess before giving her a kiss. [color=ff4599] "I'll try and get some sleep, you should too. We'll probably have to move tomorrow. Good night, Jess." [/color]

She calmly crawled into bed and drifted off to sleep with a small smile on her face.

OoC: Night.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica sighed happily to herself after Ness kissed her, then went to bed. Not seeing much else she could do, she got into bed shortly behind her and cuddled up to her. ...Well fantastic, now there's one more thing I've ended up having to make myself worry about... She eventually managed to fall asleep as well, though she ended up laying in bed for a while first.

 

[Furioso]

Rita was awake. She headed to her old training spot and began to train with all of the mythril that she had, and found that she no longer needed a cast time or incantation to use her spells, and simply had to think about it.

 

[Chungus]

With the bombs ready and loaded onto an airship, Loki headed towards the airship docks. As he went, he touched his pendant to contact Nybeth. Nybeth. We are ready to make the next move. Collect the thralls, and return to the capital. I await in the northen part of the city, at the gates of the airship docks.

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie stripped all non-essential stuff from his rucksack, then placed Tophat inside and wore it. He holstered his pistol and SMG, then sat down to load the newly bought shotgun currently lying across his lap.
(To the Rookie: You do realise this is most likely a suicide mission, don't you?)
He glanced over his shoulder and grunted, then primed the shotgun.
(To the Rookie: Right, I forgot. Sorry.)

 

[DotSlash]

Ness slowly rose up out of bed and stretched before calmly shifting herself out of bed to avoid disturbing Jessica. She calmly went through her each of her guns and began to switch out sets of SD cards in each of them.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Yes sir." Came Nybeth's mental reply to Loki. It would take Nybeth quite a bit of time to return to Loki's position, most of that time having to be spent migrating across the entire continent in the form of a crow.

[hr]

Jessica started to toss and turn in bed after Ness had climbed out. Eventually she woke up, groaning and stretching as she sat up in bed, not looking terribly well rested.

 

[Chungus]

Once Nybeth arived at Loki's location, he lead him towards the airship on which the bombs were loaded and got on. The person assigned to detonate the bombs was already aboard. once Nybeth got on also, it took of and began flying towards Rockbyrd.

 

[DotSlash]

As she continued to work with her guns, Ness looked over toward Jess and sighed a bit as she noticed her looking unrested. "Good morning, Jess. Sorry I woke you up."
